Advancing Construction Offers Limited Window for Interior Selections at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay

Rising twenty stories above the Sarasota Bayfront, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay is steadily taking shape as one of the region’s most anticipated luxury addresses, with completion planned for Q4 2026. This landmark harborside tower will deliver 78 grand residences to downtown Sarasota, enhanced by world-class amenities and the legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton.

As exterior construction progresses, attention is turning to the residence interiors, where the development team is guiding future homeowners through the personalized details that will define each private residence. In the Selections phase, residents and their design teams are invited to the private Design Studio at the Presentation Gallery to choose the finishes and fixtures that reflect their individual style. With vertical construction moving swiftly, the opportunity for additional homebuyers to both secure their residence and personalize their residence is narrowing.

“Each milestone in construction brings us closer to a stage where certain design decisions must be finalized,” explains John Harper, Development Executive at Kolter Urban. “Our team is committed to offering homeowners the opportunity to personalize their residences with finishes that reflect their individual taste. But as the building progresses, those decisions have to be executed within a defined timeline. If a residence is not under contract, the selections are completed by the development team, thereby limiting future owners to the pre-determined finish packages.”

Within the immersive Design Studio, future residents are guided through an array of curated options by Carol Bradley, Selections Coordinator. From flooring and cabinetry to fixtures and lighting, every detail is thoughtfully considered to ensure a residence that is both timeless and distinctly personal, while showcasing the signature sophistication of The Ritz-Carlton brand.

The rapid pace of construction now underscores the importance of acting swiftly. “It’s an exciting stage,” Harper continues. “Homeowners are actively engaged in creating the residences they’ve envisioned, but it’s also a reminder that the timeline for making those selections is not indefinite.”

This waterfront condominium tower offers the only luxury-branded private residences currently available at The Quay. With just 78 residences, this harborside address is elevating expectations with expansive floorplans that range from approximately 3,200 to over 5,800 square feet. All of the residences offer exceptional views of Sarasota Bay or The Quay Harbor, as well as the beautiful Sarasota city skyline. Each home is privately accessed by elevator and enjoys an unparalleled array of private amenities, including the innovative 20,000 sf, multi-level Harbor Club.

For those who have yet to secure their Sarasota Bay residence, the Selections phase represents a rare opportunity. It’s not only the chance to own at one of Sarasota’s most prestigious addresses, but also to imprint finish it with the personal style of its owner.
